mpc-qt VS LibreOffice

In Windows you can use MPC-QT or SMPlayer for example.

Also took a look at mpc-qt, https://github.com/mpc-qt/mpc-qt/releases. It's missing a ton of the features the newer maintained MPC-HC has gained over the years since the original went stale. But by God, the detail in its picture is outstanding.

Could try mpc-qt

Have you heard about or tried mpc-qt? As the name might imply, it's inspired by Media Player Classic (specifically MPC-HC), so it probably fits in better than a player that uses custom skins

I just use mpc-qt, basically the best of both worlds. Sadly its not actively developed but the program itself works just fine

I've been trying to compile mpc-qt (https://github.com/mpc-qt/mpc-qt) on Windows 10 and just can't seem to get it to work. I've found portable releases of it, but can't seem to get Windows to associate it with media files. Anyone have success with it?

First of all, if you need to write a lot of files in the doc format, there's a lovely office suite called libreoffice! Also, cups is a decent print utility for most printers, I'd check that out as well.

Try LibreOffice or OpenOffice .

Both Apache OpenOffice and LibreOffice are descendents of the original OpenOffice (what you're probably thinking about.)

LibreOffice is under very active development and can be downloaded from https://www.libreoffice.org/

Apache OpenOffice is effectively abandonware at this point, see https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Product_Release It's mostly been maintenance releases since 2013.

If you want LibreOffice with support (or just want to support development), you probably want Collabora.

If you need programs like office word excel and power point but offline try looking into Libre office
